It’s more impressive that her like-retweet ratio keeps going downward the more she tweeted about this. It’s on par of her claiming that fact-checkers of today are considered credible.
He literally bought a complete piece of shit for $44 billion. He bought a fucking turd. For $44 billion. On the other hand, he actually had $44 billion to waste on a shitpost.
Sure you are, John. I look forward to your trenchant posts from the Peachtree State. Although given your scathing intellect, maybe we should go back to the older nickname, "the Goober State."
"crash eminently"
But fear not: John will be here until the very end, like the musicians who maintained their posts as the Titanic was consumed beneath the icy waves. It is for journalism, you understand, and not because John is fucking addicted.
John bemoaning the death of fact checking is pretty damned funny. Nobody would know who he is if news outlets checked his fraudulent resume or noted that everything he says is a lie.
Pinhead : "welcome to the outer reaches of experience"
John : "I have called you with the dilator configuration. I have such sights to show you"
John lifts minidress,
As John's stinkditch opens via an ornate geared and filigreed speculum hooked chains fly out, grabbing Pinhead's crotch. The chains start to pull a struggling Pinhead toward John for a Mississippi slug-job
Pinhead : "Leviathan! I've lived in such sweet hell, and consorted with demons but some things should not be!"
One reason I find John and other lolcows fun is that if you take their proclamations as what they do not and so take them seriously they can raise interesting philosophical topics to juxtapose against their endless confidence that their lack of knowledge is peak knowledge. In this set of tweets John argues that more democratic access to information is not "positive overall to democracy" and so his conclusion must be more necessarily harsh to democracy than, say, the Founders who openly touted their distaste for the masses but understood that morally democracy must be essential. (For non-Americans you can probably look at any of your best proponents of democracy for similar thoughts, the Founders of course were mining the well of both Europrean-centric (especially the UK) liberalism and global thoughts back to the Greeks.) The Founders specifically championed the freedom of the press for all people because of coming of an age in which the British government extensively regulated every aspect of the press and the colonies had a far more democratic press even with all the consequent regular defamation and absurdity. John, by contrast, has lived through an age where gatekeeping (interesting choice of phrase to use in a post about a cis woman) has collapsed and telecommunications technology has enabled a global democratization of the press (even in places like China) and he can only lament that the people are allowed any say at all.
The first great American revolt may have been over federal taxes, but the second great American revolt in relation to the Alien and Sedition Acts helped lead to the Federalists immediately finding a Republican supermajority in the Senate and ultimately never again winning.
From the ashes of Twatter will therefore arise the Flyntoverse, microblogging taken into the 23rd Century. We can hardly wait to see your innovations, John.
Sister, you are right on the money, the other day I walked into a Victoria's Secret and all the staff there were just like, oh, I'm really sorry miss, but you are just so slim and sexy and also have too high of an IQ, we just don't have any products that can cater to you at this time.
It's a private company, John, it can do what it wants. Even more so since Elon owns it outright and isn't accountable to shareholders.
That's what you always told people complaining about censorship before, right? Don't tell me your principled stance changed when it began to affect you, I would expect more from the paragon of virtue that is John Walker Flynt.
John does not care if he’s wrong; he’s sending the message that it’s only okay if he is wrong, but for his enemies to be silenced for beating him to the punch for calling him wrong.

We should probably listen to John, he's an expert at promising endless "grand visions", abusing employees both real and fictional, creating a product that degrades and never delivering.
